Disputed The quote is authentic: the BMJ abstract at the supplied URL contains the exact sentence, “Conclusions Higher consumption of eggs (up to one egg per day) is not associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease or stroke,” and the article was published on 2013-01-07. However, the paper is credited to multiple individual authors—Ying Rong, Li Chen, Tingting Zhu, Yadong Song, Miao Yu, Zhilei Shan, Amanda Sands, Frank B Hu, and Liegang Liu—not to Ying Rong alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
